On Thursday when I arrived the sun was out. I took a few pictures of Linda’s beautiful new deck. She designed it herself and it was nice that she could use a gate that her late husband had found in her design.
This is a view looking out the other direction.
She hasn’t completed her summer decorating yet, but recently had a new patio door installed.
Here she is watering her new herbs that I gave her.
As you enter her house there is a baker’s rack decorated with spring things to greet you.
Linda made steak kabobs for dinner that first night.
She put them in the oven and we had a strange thing happen. The oven locked us out. We couldn’t open the door at all. We read the directions, but there was no way that we could open it. Our food was trapped inside. We shut off the oven, but the door still wouldn’t open. Finally we touched a few buttons and got it opened finally. Linda is having someone come out to fix it soon. She has had a lot of trouble with this oven.
Downtown Fredericksburg is a great shopping town. There are a lot of little gift shops.
And restaurants and pubs.
In this store..Legacy..I bought a dove birdcage.
Inside one of the stores. Now don’t you know why I love it so much?
Having cute store windows is a source of pride. This fairy was in the front of a hair salon.
Another fun thing we did is go to a used jewelry extravaganza. There were pins, bracelets, necklaces, rings, scarves, and purses. We went early to the mimosa brunch so we could have first dibs. 
There was a breakfast casserole, scones, fruit compotes, ham biscuits, and orange juice. There were also door prizes. I won the purse holder in the box. Linda won a worry doll.
I forgot to take my camera when we went to the Art Festival in the park. There was also a Farmer’s market.
I had a wonderful weekend in Virginia.
Awesome!! You sure did have a wonderful time:) So sorry the weather was not completely cooperating for you:(
